Dear brpc Community, My name is Chuang Zhang, and my GitHub account is *zchuango*. I am a graduate of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), where I majored in Computer Science.
I am currently working at Huawei, focusing on the software ecosystem and community development of the UB bus communication system. My main technical interests include RPC communication infrastructure, transport-layer optimization, and the integration of KVCache into search and recommendation systems. I am also involved in building agent-related platforms and supporting customer co-innovation projects. I have been actively following and contributing to the Apache brpc community. My recent contributions include: Abstracting and improving the brpc transport layer; Adding and improving UB-related transport support, including URMA, UBRing, and UBShm; Extending brpc to support UB protocol-based communication; Improving transport-layer code structure, configuration naming, documentation, and dependency management; Fixing bugs and improving code quality in the related transport components. Representative pull requests list: *Transport framework and UB-related transport* - #3199 — Add Transport to support more communication protocol extensions <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3199> - #3290 — Interconnecting with the UBShmTransport Based on the LD/ST Shared Memory Semantics <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3290> - #3428 — feat: add URMA transport support <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3428> - #3471 — code quality and maintainability for ubshmTransport <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3471> - #3507 — Add UBRing data format negotiation <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3507> - #3509 — Replace custom timer with bthread timer and improve lifecycle safety <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3509> *Progressive read timeout* - #3469 — Reintroduce progressive HTTP read timeout support <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3469> *Build system, dependency management, and documentation* - #3446 — fix(test): avoid overriding the configured C++ standard <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3446> - #3468 — docs: add Bazel build guide and bzlmod example <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3468> - #3475 — fix(cmake): prioritize discovered zlib headers for brpc sources <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3475> *Bug fixes and runtime reliability* - #3495 — fix: preserve XMM6-XMM15 in x86_64 bthread context switch <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3495> - #3514 — Fix SelectiveChannel response copy for non-reflectable messages <https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3514> These contributions can be reviewed through my zchuango account and the corresponding Apache brpc community commits. I would like to formally express my interest in becoming an Apache brpc committer. I understand that my current number of commits may not yet fully meet the general guideline, but I hope my contributions in transport-layer development and communication infrastructure can be considered. I would appreciate any guidance on the application process and the expectations for becoming a committer. In the future, we will continue contributing to brpc and the related communication ecosystem, including: - Multi-link reliability optimization; - Shared-memory-based serialization-free communication support; - Transport-based performance monitoring; - A common handshake component for RDMA, URMA, UBShm and other Transport; - A general serialization-free solution over URMA/RDMA/UBShm; - Continuing to follow community discussions, reviews, issues, and maintenance work. I look forward to continuing to contribute to brpc, especially in transport framework improvements and communication ecosystem development.
